I know some of you couldn't care less about Baron(who's Baron?), and so you might have missed this wonderful MV, or thinks he looked so hot in the MV you were too distracted to pay attention to the uber-cool storyline of the MV, hence this post. And the fact that I've got a serious weakness for wuxia themed stuff...
Ah! I am beginning to digress, let's begin the story, shall we?
Once upon a time...
A young lady was playing gu zheng alone in her room.
'Cause that's what they used to do before the invention of internet.
While she was plucking the delicate strings of the chinese instrument, she heard a noise. Foreshadowing trouble, she took her sword.....
....but she was too late. Held at swordpoint (is that a valid word?), she is captured and taken
to the Bad Guy's lair.
Minutes later, our Baron arrives at the site:
Obviously something's wrong, seeing his girlfriend's place in such a state.
As he scans the site, he finds a note/clue left by his girl written on a piece of paper.
| Lyrics:
Whiffs of incense smoke bring your troubles to my heart, |
At the Bad Guy's place:
Captivated by her understated beauty, the Bad Guy held her at daggerpoint(again?) and........forces his way with her *gasp*
|
The glazing on the lady's portrait hides her charm, |
As she sheds a tear over her predicament,
At the door (albeit too late!)...
....is a very angry Baron.
There's some serious flying and ass kicking kung fu skills here, as he tries to get to the girl.
He knows what the Bad Guy is really after(which is the cursed Blue Porcelain Vase), and hands it in exchange for his girlfriend.
Alas, the Bad Guy being bad, kills her anyway, right in front of Baron...
|
The calligraphy underneath the vase, reflecting the elegance of Han Dynasty, Just pretend that we are to meet |
Here's a teary eyed Baron, right before he goes mad with rage and kills everyone.
Rage, a.k.a. classic Shouting At The World anger scenes often seen in wuxia dramas:
A millennium later....
The reappearance of the Cursed Blue &White Porcelain Vase at an auction:
Foreshadows a reunion between two lovers...
There's a hot bid for the porcelain vase, with Baron having the highest bid.
"Going once, twice,...." and interrupted by a couple behind.
As Baron turns to look, he meets his "past" lover. They briefly met each other's eyes.
But one glance is all it takes. With or without them realising, they are irrevocably
drawn to each other.
It's like an unspoken mutual bond between them. Just one dance and they are already deeply in love, and Baron takes the girl to some random room to .....umm........I dunno *innocent*
The fast pace is logical if you think about it, seeing they had waited a 1000 years for this opportunity! (either that or the time constraint of the MV)

The perfect shade of blue awaits amidst the rain, like how I wait for you |
This has got to be the best line in the whole song. It reminds me of Rainie's poem in
Hi, My Sweetheart about the person who reincarnates into a tree, waiting for her lover for a thousand years...
Alternative translation(more literal): The azure colour is waiting for the rain(to finish),
Like how I'm waiting for you.
They finally reunite, feeling as if they've known each other forever...
In the middle of their little reunion, things took a turn for the worse again as baddies(followers of the Bad Guy) managed to find them. Bad Guy got news that there was something going on between his woman and Baron. Uh-oh....
But Baron was all cool, not even breaking a sweat over it(same persona like a 1000 years ago), took the lady's hand and slipped away from baddies.
But alas, like history repeating itself, someone dies....
And this time it's Baron.

The perfect shade of blue awaits amidst the rain, like how I wait for you,

gemini28 sobs: Oh My Baron! Oh well, hopefully the curse of the Blue&White Porcelain Vase
will be broken in the next millennium.
Third time's a charm, right?
